Everyone was shocked and looked at Guo Miao.
This seemingly young girl was not only a famous doctor, but she was also a distinguished guest of the Tong family. It seemed that Tong Pei was also very protective of Guo Miao.
Jack turned around with difficulty and looked up at Guo Miao.
He almost couldn’t believe that it was this seemingly young girl that made Tong Pei fall out with him for the first time.
Tong Pei and Jack had known each other for decades, and the Orsolas and the Tongs had been partners for many years. Jack could not believe that Tong Pei would fall out with him.
He raised his hand and gestured to the servants and bodyguards in the room to leave.
Catherine also walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
In an instant, only Tong Pei, Guo Miao, and Jack were left in the room.
Jack slowly raised his head to look at Guo Miao. From this angle, Jack’s face was very gaunt. From this angle, it seemed that his bones were about to break through the skin. His cheeks were deeply sunken, probably caused by long-term use of hallucinogens.
“Tong Pei, you know about the dirty business behind our family. This is not something I can decide.” Jack’s voice was very hoarse, revealing a faint sadness.
“Our family is as such. The strong prey on the weak. If I don’t participate in this kind of business, I might not be able to establish myself in my family.”
The reason why the Orsola family was so prosperous was related to this illegal trade.
“I told you before when we were working together that I don’t care what business the Orsolas have behind them. To me, we’re just partners in certain aspects. The Tongs won’t care about those messy things.
“But if you want to do anything to Guo Miao, I won’t let you go,” said Tong Pei.
Originally, he only sympathized with his friend, so he brought Guo Miao over. However, he did not expect Jack to almost get rid of her earlier.
Although Tong Pei and Guo Miao were very good at fighting, they could not defeat the entire room.
“I’m sorry, Tong Pei. You know the Orsola family. If this matter really gets out, only I and my wife will suffer.”
The use of hallucinogens was illegal in Country B. If the Orsolas were to be exposed for using hallucinogens, the entire family would probably fall into a terrible public opinion. At that time, they would have to sacrifice someone to bear all the responsibility.
Jack was very likely to be the one who would be sacrificed to bear everything in the end.
Tong Pei nodded. He understood Jack’s feelings.
“I really didn’t have any inspiration for my next movie, so I took a hallucinogen. I thought it wouldn’t hurt me and that I wouldn’t get addicted, but I didn’t know that it would develop to such a serious stage.”
Later, he began to rely on hallucinogens, and the dosage he needed grew larger and larger. Later, ordinary hallucinogens could not satisfy his needs at all.
At this time, his friend from Neverland Island had given him a hallucinogen called the Red Spider Lilies.
He was amazed after using it once. When he lit the joint, he seemed to have seen heaven. Then, he found that he could not live without this potion anymore.
In the end, he found out that the powder was mixed with a drug that would cause muscle atrophy.
However, at that time, his leg muscles had already been necrotic to the point that it was impossible to repair them. It was also because of this that he had gotten paralyzed in a car accident.
Guo Miao’s eyes were cold as she listened to him.
Creating was a very difficult thing to do. Moreover, Jack had always been creating with the goal of surpassing himself.
“The accident was very serious, but when the car hit the truck, I changed directions.”
Because he changed directions, Catherine, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was not hit. Instead, he was paralyzed.
“That time, Catherine was on a trip to visit her family. Everyone in our family thought that she caused the misfortune. However, only I know that this was not Catherine’s problem at all. If it wasn’t because of my friend…”
The friend Jack was talking about was the friend who had given him the hallucinogen. That friend had tampered with his car and caused the disaster.
Guo Miao quietly listened to Jack’s story..
